I'm with you. And I know it's kind of crappy to say but I'll be kind of glad when FiM/G4 is over and G5 comes along because I got high hopes that they'll go back to something similar to G1 or G3. Until then, I can put my pony collecting on a slow down. I still love G4 and enjoy getting some of the older ones I don't have but I've been burnt out on the main 6 for years now and the reboot/g4.5 kind of put the nail in the coffin.
yeah im feeling your pain too. since the g4 brushable came out i always had something to look forward too and to look out for but now there isn't a single thing.
equestria girls; im not getting into the EQGD minis and they dont sell the normal big ones, they went months ago,
blind bags; we only get 1 in every 3 waves that come out which is both weird and very annoying but also they are $6each here which is too expensive for a piece of plastic plus i can't see the codes to well.
G4.5; not doing, iv collected all the normal g4 brushable and those new ones are just too ugly.
aaaaand the little story packs they dont sell here either anymore, there is too much we (and other country's) are missing out on and iv spent so much and traded so much to get stuff that never made it here, so im sitting out on anything that comes out now...............its kind of sad after all these years
Not loving th G4.5's, though I did see a custom Fluffle Puff on one which was quite cute. I shall continue working on my older gen ponies until its over.
I wonder if this was the same reaction when G3.5 came out???
I personally like the new reboot series(another in the group who won't be calling them 4.5)
My sympathies to those who don't like them. But hey, more money to invest in other collections or in other ponies, right?
I'm old school, and I believe in toy-inspires-animation, not toy-represents-animation, so thats just my preference.
I'm feeling this way about pretty much anything new on shelves for toylines these days... QC is terrible... when you compare it to what we USED to be able to buy in toys!
*sigh* I'm not fond of the G4/5/reboot, either.agree.
I was hoping to like them; I'd gotten so bored with G4. But, no, I'm not thrilled with the redesign. I'm happy that some people like them, but personally, I feel like they're... out of proportion? They just look odd to me and cheaply designed, to boot.
I wish that Hasbro would do what others toy designers have done and release retro designs alongside their new designs. Strawberry Shortcake is doing a great job with that and I feel like both fans are covered. :)
